CNC Lathe Turning Specialist

Step into Precision: Your Day as a CNC Lathe Turning Specialist

It’s 6:00 a.m. at our Sidney, OH facility. You review the day’s queue, load programs, confirm your setups, and take a final look at the print—tolerances down to 0.0002 in. You tweak offsets, verify your tooling, and kick off a smooth first article. Throughout the shift, you’ll move seamlessly from troubleshooting a lathe cycle to checking dimensions with micrometers and bore gages, collaborating with engineers on a tricky feature, and updating production data so the next operation flows without a hitch.
